Even though “America’s Got Talent” 2018 finalist Courtney Hadwin is only 14, she’s wise beyond her years. After being shockingly eliminated during the Season 13 finale, the controversial young rock star had this to say about all of her online haters: “From ‘AGT’ I’ve learned to not look at all the bad comments and to just concentrate on the positive. So thank you all for the positive comments.” Watch Courtney’s NBC interview above.

“Thank you so much everyone for voting for me and supporting me and just doing everything,” Courtney said in a heartfelt message to her millions of fans who stood by her throughout her entire “America’s Got Talent” journey. “I wouldn’t have got here if it wasn’t for you. Being here at the live shows has just been a great experience. To perform on the stage, to have that chance to be able to do that, it’s just amazing.”

“My first favorite moment at ‘AGT’ was getting the Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel,” Courtney revealed in her new interview. “Thank you so much Howie for pressing the Golden Buzzer and thank you for believing in me from the very start. My second favorite was getting to meet all the contestants. And my third favorite was how the public voted for me.”
